REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White House. 

Srn: On August 19, 1933, you approved a Code of Fair Competition for the Lumber and Timber Products Industries. 

This is a report on Lumber Code Authority Amendment Number 

87, the public hearing on which was conducted in Washington, D. C., 

beginning on April 3, 1934, in accordance with the provisions of the 

National Industrial Recovery Act. 

The Amendment contemplates the revision of portions of fair 

trade practices embodied in Schedule " B " of the Lumber and 

Timber Products Industries Code h:Y the addition of the fair trade 

practices for the Red Cedar Shingle Division. 

This Amendment proposes to make mandatory several of the provisions of simplified practice recommendation Rl&-29 and commercial standard CS31-33 of the Bureau of Standards which forbid the 

manufacture and sale of substandard shingles. It is to be noted that the shingle manufacturers of British 

Columbia in their agreement with the State Department relative to 

shingles exported into the United States from Canada have agreed 

to abide by the Bureau of Standards' regulations and it is felt that 

the American shingle manufacturers should also be similarly restricted. At the present time the bulk of shingles n1anufactured in 

the United States are manufactured in accordance with the above 

mentioned requirements. . The Deputy Administrator in his final report to us on said Amendment to said Code having found as herein set forth and on the 

basis of all the proceedings in this matter : 

1Ve find that: 

(a) The Amendment to said Code and the Code as amended are 

well designed to promote the policies and purposes of Title I of the 

National Industrial Recovery Act including the removal of ob.st.ructions to the free flow of interstate and foreign commerce which 

tend to diminish the amount thereof, and will provide for the 

general welfare by promoting the organization of industry for the 

purpose of cooperative action among trade groups, by including and 

maintaining united action of labor and management under adequate 

governmental sanction and supervision, by eliminating unfair competitive practices, by promoting the fullest possible utilization of the 

present productive capacity of industries, by avoiding undue restrictions of productions ( except as may be temporarily required), by 

increasing the consumption of industrial and agricultural products 

through increasing purchasing power, by reducing and relieving 

unemployment, by improving standards of labor, and by otherwise 

rehabilitating industry. 

(2)

(b) The Code a am nded complie in all re. pe ts with the pertin nt pr vi ion of aid Title of aid Act, in luding without limitation 

Subs tion (a) of e tion 3, Subs ction (a) of Section 7 and 

ub · tion (b) of Section 10 thereof. 

( ) The Code empowers the Code Authority to present the aforesaid Amendm nt on behalf of the industry as a whole. 

( d) The Amendment and the Code as amended are not designed to 

and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practice . 

( e) The Amendment and the Code as amended are not de igned to 

and will not eliminate or oppress small enterprises and will not 

operate to discriminate against them. 

(f) Those engaged in other steps of the economic process have not 

been deprived of the right to be heard prior to approval of said 

Amendment. 

For the e reasons, therefore, we have approved this Amendment to 

thi Code. 

For the National Industrial Recovery Board:
